The dielectric properties of electrochemically grown zirconium oxide films by anodisation of zirconium in 1.0 mol dm-3 phosphoric acid solution were investigated in a 3 to 30 V potential range with a view to inducing surface modifications for eventual use in biomedical and electronic applications. The oxide films grown at different potentials were characterised by Atomic Force Microscopy, X-ray...

Tantalum oxide honeycomb nanostructures (THNS) were fabricated by electrochemical anodisation of tantalum in H2SO4-HF medium. XRD analysis showed that annealing of THNS at 400 °C improves the crystallinity. HRSEM and AFM results illustrated that nanopores with an average diameter of 30 nm were uniformly distributed and the pore size reduced to 24 nm and 18 nm during subsequent electrodeposition...

Metallic monoliths were prepared by anodized aluminum-scale pilot plant, using sulfuric acid as electrolyte. Anodisation tests were conducted at different times and different temperatures of the electrolytic bath. Aluminum monolith anodized at 40oC for 30 min was selected for catalysts support. The monoliths were impregnated by two methods: i) impregnation in two stages using two Mn salts in an...

Sodium ion battery (SIB) has engage sustainable alternative on replacing lithium batteries. The lower potential and larger ionic value demanded seeking a anode materials. Amorphous TiO2 prepared by electrochemical anodisation technique provide suitablility as SIB materials, which approved conducting XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX measurements. Electrochemical performance was tested with variations in the c...

The extensive use of adhesives in many structural applications in the transport industry and particularly in the aeronautic field is due to numerous advantages of bonded joints. However, still many researchers are working to enhance the mechanical properties and rheological performance of adhesives by using nanoadditives. In this study the effect of the addition of Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (...

In this paper, results on preparation of stable and uniform SERS solid substrates using macroporous silicon (pSi) with deposited silver and gold are presented. Macroporous silicon is produced by anodisation of p-type silicon in hydrofluoric acid. The as prepared pSi is then used as a template for Ag and Au depositions. The noble metals were deposited in three different ways: by immersion in sil...
